Stump the Librarian Episode 15 – Ew, That’s Gross 
It’s the gross out episode of Stump the Librarian podcast where we explore all things icky! Join librarians Courtnei and Emily, with a little help from the librarian behind the screen Jill as we answer questions from YOU, the listener. This week we are tackling the questions “Why does there have to be bugs?”, “Why don’t we notice our own BO?” and “How many times does an average person fart in a day?” If you love all things ick, this is the episode for you!  
Join us every other Wednesday as we answer listener questions about space, nature, human bodies, animals, and so much more. You can submit your own question for a chance to Stump the Librarian. Check out kdl.org/stump. You can also email us at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you! You can follow our podcast at stumpthelibrarian.podbean.com/ or anywhere you get podcasts.
